 * Just wondering how I can allow users to posted something via USP to go back and
   edit their post if they wanted to. The plugins you posted about don’t appear 
   to work this way.
    I tried these out and none let the user edit only their own
   post. [https://plugin-planet.com/usp-pro-enable-users-edit-posts-front-end/](https://plugin-planet.com/usp-pro-enable-users-edit-posts-front-end/)
 * I logged in as someone else and was able to edit every post. I wouldn’t want 
   that.
 * Any chance this will be part of an update? Is it part of USP pro?
 * Thanks,
    Courtney

 * It’s not a built-in feature of the free version, but it can be done with USP 
   Pro, as explained [here](https://plugin-planet.com/usp-pro-limit-post-display-post-author/).
   By itself, that method will enable users to log in to the Admin Area and edit
   their own posts (without having access to anyone else’s posts). And it should
   work with any of the frontend plugins listed [here](https://plugin-planet.com/usp-pro-enable-users-edit-posts-front-end/),
   to do the same but keep the user on the front-end of the site.
 * Please [contact me directly](https://perishablepress.com/contact/) for any further
   questions about pro plugins. The forums here at WordPress.org are stricly for
   free versions of plugins hosted on this domain.
 * Thank you

 * Hi Jeff,
 * Ok thanks I will look into USP pro…I wanted users to have a limited back end,
   not the whole WP backend look. Or no back end, or their “own” back end.
 * Thank you,

 * Glad to help. I just checked and the site is up:

 * That particular error I think is Chrome-specific, so you should be able to access
   using Firefox or some other browser. Let me know if you get in OK.
